A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Inspired by fashions from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, this modular shawl is the perfect accessory for a hyperspace journey. The shape is a take on a triangle shawl but uses modular techniques to show off a self striping yarn and make the shape easier to wear. Grab a coordinating tonal, solid, or speckle yarn to pair with your self striping yarn and create an out of this world shawl. The shawl features a clean modern look that would be at home on any starship.

Yarn:
Fingering Weight in 2 colors
C1 Solid/Tonal/Speckle: 460 yds / 420 m*
C2 Self Striping/Variegated/Microstripe: 460 yds / 420 m

If you have a skein that is under 460 yds / 420 m you can still use it as C1. You will need an additional mini skein or scrap (about 10 grams). This can be used for Clue 3 for a contrast pop.
